Hi all,

How do I search for a keyword in an entire C# (.cs) document?

e.g.,
EnvDTE.ProjectItem item = project.ProjectItems.Item(1);

item.Document returns the document, but I can't seem to figure out how to
search it.

document.Selection returns only the current selection.

Document.MarkText finds the text and sets bookmarks on those lines, but I
can't even figure out how to move the cursor there.

Is there a simple way to either search the entire text or get TextSelection
for the entire document?

Thanks.

-Oleg.

Get Document.Object("TextDocument"), cast to TextDocument, and use
TextDocument.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint.FindPattern(...)

Thanks, Carlos.

However, FindPattern() always returns False.
Here's my code:

foreach (EnvDTE.ProjectItem prjItem in project.ProjectItems)
{
if (prjItem.Name == "AssemblyInfo.cs")
{
prjItem.Open("{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}");

//string pattern = "\\[assembly\\:
AssemblyVersion\\(\\\"([^\\\"]+)\\\"\\)\\]";
// Let's try a simple search pattern first
string pattern = "AssemblyVersion";

TextDocument textDocument =
(TextDocument)prjItem.Document.Object("TextDocument");
EditPoint editPoint = textDocument.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint();
TextRanges tags = null;
EditPoint endPoint = null;
if (editPoint.FindPattern(pattern,
(int)vsFindOptions.vsFindOptionsFromStart +
(int)vsFindOptions.vsFindOptionsRegularExpression,
ref endPoint, ref tags)) // Always returns false.

Any help is gladly appreciated.

EditPoints are a bit tricky. The FindPattern needs an input/output edit
point for the 3rd parameter. Take a look at this macro:

Dim objProjectItem As ProjectItem
Dim objTextDocument As TextDocument
Dim objWindow As Window
Dim objEditPoint1 As EditPoint
Dim objEditPoint2 As EditPoint

For Each objProjectItem In
DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).ProjectItems

If (objProjectItem.Name = "AssemblyInfo.cs") Then

objWindow =
objProjectItem.Open(EnvDTE.Constants.vsext_vk_TextView)

objTextDocument =
DirectCast(objProjectItem.Document.Object("TextDocument"), TextDocument)

objEditPoint1 = objTextDocument.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint()
objEditPoint2 = objTextDocument.EndPoint.CreateEditPoint()

If objEditPoint1.FindPattern("AssemblyVersion",
vsFindOptions.vsFindOptionsNone, objEditPoint2, Nothing) Then

MsgBox("Found " & objEditPoint1.GetText(objEditPoint2))

End If

End If

Next
